Katie Barr first discovered Haitian art in the late 70's while studying Art History at Florida Atlantic University.
Here were modern day artists painting with the passion of Paul Gaugain and charm of Henri Rousseau.
After numerous trips to Haiti collecting for herself and others Katie opened HaitianArt.com in Boca Raton.
In 1996 the gallery was moved to it's present location in Delray Beach.

The works of Haitian artists vary according to region.
Haitian painting has been popular since the late 40's and most regions have an established master who's style of painting has served as an inspiration for the artists who have followed.

Haiti was first settled for the sake of harvesting its abundant natural forests... in particular the mahogany for the furniture in Europe and the mast heads of sailing ships.
The African people that were forcibly enslaved and brought to Hispanolia were, in many cases, artisans with the specific task of sculpting the wood into works of art.
These talents were handed down from parent to child until even today it is not unusual for family of artists to achieve recognition.

Haiti is such a poor country. If I purchase a painting how much does the artist get?

It is true that economically Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world but they are rich artistically.
If an artist works hard and achieves recognition it can be his step out of the cycle of poverty... some even compare sports in the United States to art in Haiti... a way for anyone with talent to excel.

Any artist that works with a gallery does so on a percentage basis.
We deal directly with the artist showcasing, advertising and promoting their works.
